[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1914283, member: 335450"] I guess Apple assumes everyone uses cloud storage for back ups 🤷? My time capsule worked great for a several years, but hasn't worked at all since I bought this computer that was pre-loaded with Catalina. I've since updated to Monterey. I'm not a cloud user, so what are my alternatives now? I was considering a WD personal cloud. I don't need an NAS device (look at me, all techie and $#@%), but WD has a couple of options, a 4TB unit as well as a dual 4TB unit. I assume the dual 4 TB unit is more or less a RAID configuration with two 4TB drives? As I understand it, the only Time Capsules available are refurbs. I'm presently without any real back up, although I did copy some files to a 2TB internal drive that I'm using as an external, so if this computer decides to self destruct, I have at least SOME protection. I've lost so much important data in the past year, I'm just trying to avoid that in the future. [/QUOTE]
